Hi , My name is Tracey and I have embraced travel since the age of 13 when I took my first solo trip from London across the North Atlantic Ocean, it started what became my life's passion for travelling.

The ART OF TRAVEL is about immersing yourself in the essence of a place: connecting with its people, culture and landscapes while remaining open to unexpected discoveries. It's travelling with intention - whether it’s seeking adventure, finding relaxation and peace, or learning something new.

Prior to moving into the travel space, my background as a Television Production Executive gave me the opportunity to film on locations around the world and gain a wealth of global travel experience. I have explored destinations far and wide uncovering hidden gems and unique experiences along the way. I’ve developed a keen eye for extraordinary places.

As an independent Travel Counsellor I have the backing of an award-winning travel business with over 30 years in the travel industry - giving me access to a wealth of travel suppliers, initiative technology, ATOL protected itineraries, client financial protection and the support of a duty office who monitor activities around the world 24/7.

Some of the areas that I specialise in are:

LEGACY HERITAGE JOURNEYS – I help you to plan a journey to walk in the footsteps of your ancestors. Embrace your family history and turn it into an unforgettable personalised travel experience.

CULTURAL IMMERSION - I curate itineraries that help engage in local culture, traditions and community, embracing customs and learning history.

SOLO FEMALE TRAVEL - I've travelled solo extensively and I can tell you once you do it, it's hard to travel any other way. Solo travel doesn't mean you have to plan everything alone. I can give advice of places to go depending on your solo travel experience, help you plan itineraries and give safety tips.

While you are on your journey, as your travel counsellor, you have the added comfort that I’m always just a phone call away to help you navigate, re-route or plan an additional adventure. You also have the option to opt into my check-in service giving you and your family extra piece of mind.

CREATIVE ESCAPES - Providing creative souls with itineraries and environments where creative inspiration flows.

SPECIAL INTEREST TOURS - I curate several special interest tours throughout the year from Jazz festivals around the world to photography trips. Contact me to receive my special interest tours newsletter or keep an eye on my socials.

If you don't see the travel style you are looking for on my profile, please feel free to contact me. The ART OF TRAVEL is the ability to find beauty in small moments, like a sunrise over a quiet village or shared smile with a curious stranger. It’s an appreciation of the journey as much as the destination.
